February 2015

The ADRC Connection June 2018

The longest day of the year has many names such as summer solstice, estival solstice or

midsummer but whichever name you call it this June 21, 2018 at 10:07 a.m. the earth’s

northern hemispheres will experience the longest day of the year. The earth’s axial tilt

will be at its maximum of 23.44 degrees towards the Sun. In southern hemispheres this

day is celebrated in December when the earth’s axis is tilted in the opposite direction.

The June Solstice has been celebrated for centuries around the world. It was a way for

ancient cultures to organize calendars and a way to determine when to plant crops and

when to harvest. Historians believe that Stonehenge in Wiltshire England was erected

around 2500 BCE in order to establish the date of the Summer Solstice. Viewed from its

center, the Sun rises at a particular point on the horizon the day of the June Solstice.

Some theories suggest that the builders of Stonehenge may have used the solstice as a

starting-point to count the days of the year.

In ancient China, the summer solstice was observed by a ceremony to celebrate the

Earth’s femininity, and the “yin” forces. It complemented the Winter Solstice that

celebrated the heavens, masculinity and “yang” forces. France held a Midsummer

celebration called Feast of Epona. The celebration was named after a mare goddess who

personified fertility and protected horses. In parts of Scandinavia, the Midsummer

celebration was observed around the time of St John’s Day, on June 24, to honor St John

the Baptist.

Native American tribes held dances to honor the Sun. The Sioux were known to hold

one of the most spectacular rituals. Preparations for the event included cutting and

raising a tree that would be considered a visible connection between the heavens and

Earth, and setting up teepees in a circle to represent the cosmos. Participants abstained

from food and drink during the dance itself and decorated their bodies in the symbolic

colors of red (sunset), blue (sky), yellow (lightning), white (light), and black (night).

In modern times the Summer Solstice continues to be a time of celebrations. European

countries like Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland hold a Midsummer celebration

honoring summer and the fertility of the Earth. In Sweden and Finland people dance

around Maypoles, bonfires are lit and homes are decorated with flower garlands,

greenery, and tree branches. Traditionally, this time of year continues to be a popular

time for weddings around the globe.

However you celebrate summer, we here at the ADRC hope you have a safe, healthy

and wonderful summer season! Check out the next page for some opportunities to get

My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as

an Alzheimer’s Caregiver

By: Marty Schreiber

Former Wisconsin Gov. Martin J. Schreiber has seen his beloved wife Elaine gradually transform from the

woman who gracefully entertained in the state’s Executive Residence to one who could no longer drive a

car, follow a recipe, use the bathroom or dress herself. She grew to depend on her decades-long partner in

marriage, political campaigns and child-raising for everything. Over time, Elaine no longer even recognized

Marty as her husband. In My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer’s Caregiver,

Schreiber candidly counsels those who take on similar caregiving roles.

My Two Elaines is more than an account of Marty Schreiber’s struggles. It provides small but monumental

suggestions for how to respect the person with Alzheimer’s as well as the caregiver. He shares why it’s

important for caregivers to practice self-care, so as not to become one of the thousands that become sick

themselves and unable to care for their loved one. Two-thirds of those who live with Alzheimer’s are

women, so Schreiber offers special guidance for men that are thrust into an unexpected job of “doing it all.”

With patience, adaptability, and even a sense of humor, Marty Schreiber shows how love continues for the

person his wife is now — his Second Elaine.

What Caregiving Looks Like

What do you think of when you hear the word Caregiver? Many think of the person who provides hands on, daily care for a frail adult; usually involving help with dressing, feeding, bathing and mobility. While this person certainly is a caregiver I’d like to challenge you to think about other possibilities of what caregiving looks like. There is the middle-aged son who stops for groceries on the way home from work for his mother, the daughter who takes her dad to his many doctor appointments, the man in charge of cooking and cleaning since his wife is no longer able, and the woman who must take her husband with her to her hair appointment for fear his confusion would endanger him if left home alone.

To sum it up, you don’t have to be providing 24/7 care to be considered a caregiver. Anyone who helps someone with something they used to do by themselves is a caregiver. Here are a few examples:

If you feel it is necessary to regularly check on your elderly neighbor and help with little jobs, then you are a caregiver.

If you find yourself spending time making appointments for your mother and stopping at the pharmacy or grocery store for her amidst running your own errands, you are a caregiver.

If you have stopped going to your weekly card club because you don’t feel you can leave your spouse at home alone, you are a caregiver.

If you spend time making phone calls to help your sister find an assisted living facility or to set up home care services, you are a caregiver.

It is important to recognize yourself as a caregiver for several reasons.

First, caregiving is often a role you do not anticipate and one that brings new challenges and responsibilities. Identifying yourself as a caregiver is the first step to handling the extra stress you may be feeling. Attending a caregiver support group, reading information on caregiver health or talking to a trusted friend or professional about your situation are all good ways to gain support.

Second, identifying yourself as a caregiver can help you connect with community resources. Getting help from a home care agency, adult day care, home delivered meals or a volunteer driver are some ways to reduce your stress as a caregiver. Information about these services is available at the Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Waukesha County.

And finally, seeing yourself as a caregiver helps you understand the importance of the things you do and may result in involving others to help! Sharing tasks with family members, friends or neighbors will take some of the responsibility off you and provide even more support for the person receiving help.

No matter what your caregiving looks like, the assistance you provide is vitally important to the life of the person you are helping. It is often the difference between the person living in their own home and living in a care facility. If you are a caregiver, call the ADRC of Waukesha County at 262-548-4878 and see how we can help!

What is Dementia?

Dementia is an overall term for diseases and conditions characterized by a decline in memory,

language, problem-solving and other cognitive skills that affect a person’s ability to perform

everyday activities. This decline occurs because nerve cells (neurons) in parts of the brain

involved in cognitive function have been damaged and no longer function normally.

Symptoms of dementia can vary greatly.

Examples include problems with short-term

memory, keeping track of a purse or wallet,

paying bills, planning and preparing meals,

remembering appointments and traveling out

of the neighborhood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some causes of memory loss can be treated

and reversed if detected early

Alzheimer’s disease is the most

common type of dementia, accounting

for 60-80% of all cases.

Vascular dementia, which occurs

because of microscopic bleeding and

blood vessel blockage in the brain, is

the second most common type of

dementia.

Dear Ina,

I’m worried. I’ve been living in my neighborhood for 50 years, but things seem to be changing. Last week, my friend Rose was walking to the store when a young man ran by and pulled her purse right off her shoulder. Two weeks ago, my neighbor upstairs was unloading his groceries and someone stole two bags right off the curb. What can my neighbors and I do to be safe? ~Rob Hury

Dear Rob,

It’s normal to feel unsafe and scared after hearing what has happened in your neighborhood recently! Though older people are less likely to be victims of violent crime than young people, older people are often targets for robbery, purse snatching, pick-pocketing, car theft, or home repair scams. If you truly feel unsafe in your neighborhood, you may want to consider moving. Otherwise, you shouldn’t let the fear of crime stop you from enjoying life in your community. Here are some things you can do to avoid crime and stay safe.

Safety at Home

Try to make sure your locks, doors, and windows are strong and cannot be broken easily. Consider an alarm system.

Keep your doors and windows locked; both when you are home and when you’re away.

Look through the peephole or a window before opening your door. Ask a stranger for identification before opening the door. Don’t open the door if you feel uneasy.

Avoid keeping large amounts of money in the home.

Get to know your neighbors. Join or form a Neighborhood Watch Program.

Be Street Smart

Stay alert when you are out. Walk with a friend. Avoid unsafe places like unlit streets or parking lots.

Lock your car doors at all times; even when pumping gas. Don’t open your car door or roll down your window for strangers. Park in well-lit areas.

Carry your purse close to your body with the strap across your chest.

Carry your wallet in your front pocket.

Be Safe with your Money

Have your income, pension, or social security check direct deposited right to your bank. Try not to visit the bank at the same time each week.

Put your wallet, money, or credit cards in an inside pocket. Try not to carry a lot of cash.

Keep your checkbook and credit cards in different places.

If you feel that you need to relocate and a move is absolutely necessary, then do your homework and ask people living in the area that you are considering moving to if they have experienced any crime. Talk to your family and friends about your concerns. Consider having a ‘buddy system’ with someone you are close to and agree to check in with them each day.

Where: Exposition Center at WI State Fair Park, 8200 W. Greenfield Ave., West Allis, WI

When: Friday, June 22 and Saturday, June 23, 2018 Doors open at 5:30 a.m. both days.

No appointments—first come, first served.

June 1st is Say Something Nice Day The day aims to encourage people to spread cheer and goodwill by opening up

channels of communication and by focusing on the good in everyone.

Say Something Nice Day began in Charleston, South Carolina, when the Mayors of North Charleston and Charleston came together with others in their

community to create a day to be kind to the people in our lives. It was and still remains the hope that this one day of pleasantness will grow,

until people are nice to each other every day.

Spread Happiness Positivity goes a long way in spreading happiness and joy. When we are kind in our interactions with others, we receive positivity and kindness back. This enriches our lives, makes us happy, and keeps us healthy. Studies have shown that happy people are healthier and live longer. How to Celebrate?

Start by being nice to yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror and find 5 things that you like about yourself.

Saying something nice to everyone you meet. Put aside your petty enmities with people and use this day to try and see the positive in people you usually do not like. Leave a nice note or do something nice for a friend, family member, or co-worker.

Bottom line: just be nice to friends, foes, and strangers alike, and you will notice that you feel much better about yourself!

Did You Know… ...that the saying "if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all," is often known as Thumper's Law or the Thumperian Principle? Thumper is a fictional rabbit character from Disney's animated movie Bambi.

Make Your Own Olive Oil Salad Dressing

Olive oil is rich in heart-healthy fats called monounsaturated fats, which can improve blood cholesterol levels. You can use olive oil to make homemade salad dressing. A benefit of making your own salad dressing is that you can control the amount of ingredients, such as salt and sugar content. Homemade salad dressing is easy to make, and the flavor possibilities are endless!

Basic olive oil dressing:

3 or 4 Parts Olive Oil

+ 1 Part Acid: Vinegar or citrus juice Red wine vinegar White wine vinegar Apple cider vinegar Balsamic vinegar Champagne vinegar Raspberry, blueberry, or other

fruit vinegar Lemon juice Lime juice Orange juice Grapefruit juice

+ Seasonings to taste: Salt and pepper Dijon mustard Garlic powder or minced fresh

garlic Minced sweet onion Sugar, honey, or fruit jam Chopped fresh herbs

Tasty combos: Honey mustard: 3 Tablespoons olive oil + 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar + 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard + 1 teaspoon

honey + salt and pepper to taste

Raspberry vinaigrette: 3 Tablespoons olive oil + 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar + 2 teaspoons low sugar raspberry jam+ salt and pepper to taste

Lemon herb vinaigrette: 3 Tablespoons olive oil + 1 Tablespoon lemon juice + 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley, chives, or basil + salt and pepper to taste

Whisking method:

for Open Enrollment, 3) leading health promotion workshops, 4)advocating for a

vulnerable adult regarding safety and well-being, 5) packing and delivering

meals to homebound seniors, and 6)setting up and serving meals at one of the

10 senior dining centers in the county.

Those attending this year’s event enjoyed the Photo Stations complete with props. On the left is the
